You asked for a diffuser a time ago.
And there was a recommendation from the german Taschenlampen-Forum.
Did you get that one and does it fit?

Der Nitecore NFD25 ist für Lampen mit 25,4mm Kopf…

The NFD25 is flat, designed to spread out the beam. So, not the right category of product.

The NDF25 is a cone, and it technically fits, but it’s not a good fit and not very useful as a diffuser cone either. It’s basically transparent, doesn’t emit light very evenly, and does weird things to the tint.

There’s also a stretchy silicone one, but it’s difficult to put on, it isn’t opaque enough, and it looks awkwardly like a stubby condom.

So I’m still looking for a diffuser cone which fits well and is opaque.

We already have the world’s best candle, the D4, D4S, or any other tail standing light that can run Anduril.

Well, true, if you can flash it into those lights!…
The FW3A will be the first light I will have with that FW installed, and as far as I perceived, it will be the first light with Anduril as stock FW, so it makes it different!

Besides that, the elegance of this flasglight makes it look better as a candle But that is just a preference

Member for 8+ years and almost 11,000 posts…and no decent high drain unprotected cells?

My mind is blown!

…. That makes two of us….. I was thinking the same thing….

Wow – I don’t have ANY protected cells, and don’t want them either.
I don’t want issues with who made the circuit, how it performs, whether it will fit, metal strip running down the side – yuk.
I have a few Panny B’s for capacity and the rest are nearly all 30Q’s button or flat top, aside from a few laptop pulls, and some 14500/10440 of mixed breed.

Hitherto I bought mostly protected cells, as I got more knowledge about Li-ion cells, I will buy mostly unprotected. Think about Tesla, thousands of unprotected cells under your ass, still no spontaneously fire incidents.

Those are still protected, just through a BMS or battery management system. Still, there is the rare fire usually due to the battery pack being punctured. Way way more safer than gasoline, though. Even a protected 18650 can burn up if the protection circuit is in the negative end and the positive metal strap along the side gets scratched and causes a short in the battery tube.

I still use protected cells in headlamps and the lights that I give away, even if the light has lvp built in.

I’m hoping Fireflies updates future batches of the ROT66 to Anduril. If so, then FW3A would be the 2nd.

For the ultimate candle effect, instead of a slip-on diffuser, you’ll want to set it on a small fan, with orange and/or yellow tissue paper taped to the top to “flicker” in the breeze like this sort of gadget
